Whine: Going into total panic mode. Between a major nervous breakdown at work yesterday(a combination of manufacturing/project delays, my CAD program randomly shutting down 100+ times in a day so that it took eight hours to design something that usually takes twenty minutes, a jerk of a coworker who decided that they were going to replace the elliptical in our gym while I was using it so he kicked me off and I got to watch as nothing happened for a good half hour, and last minute business travel plans that totally threw everything off), getting news today that I won't know how long I'll actually be away (to the point that my boss said that, if necessary, the company will cover clothes or laundering costs... argh!), and being too darn lazy to pack tonight even though I have to, I feel like I'm going nuts.
Nothing like having your vacation sandwiched between work travel.
It'll be okay tommorrow, but today my boss had to talk me down a little bit "You know that it's just a part of R&D-- some projects work perfectly and others have delays. You're just gaining experience in the second."
And I'm going to go broke in buying up my travel necessities, like lots of little travel shampoos (so that I can throw them out as they finish and have less to lug on each leg of the trip), moist face towelettes (easier to carry than makeup remover + face cleaner), TSA approved luggage locks (because I have to check my bag-- medical instruments won't go over too well in carry-ons), and books.
*sigh* /end whine
